All elementary classrooms should not only have a calendar posted in their classrooms, but be using it regularly. Some teachers may have visions of “calendar time” being strictly a primary experience, but upper elementary can benefit from it too. Lower elementary students may answer questions like, “What is the date today?” and “What day of the week will it be tomorrow?” Upper elementary students, on the other hand, may answer questions like, “Juan’s birthday is in 2 weeks and 6 days. What is the date of Juan’s birthday?” The calendar activities featured in this post help you bring your classroom calendar to life and ensure your students are practicing calendar skills daily.
